Hi, I am attending a lapband seminar this monday. I have been looking over so many threads to find answers and have read so much info that has helped. I have Aetna PPO and I have looked in the benefit book and this is what it states: Medical Exclusions: Charges for surgical weight reduction procedures (such as stapling the stomach) and all related charges, unless a physician certifies that the condition is potentially life threatening and and all other courses of treatment were unsuccessful. I really just want to know as much info as possible. I have read some threads about having 5 year medical history about weight. Has anybody gotten approved that didnt have that. I only went 1 time in 2003, 2005 to the emergency room due to acid reflux being so bad and then 2008. Thanks for any help!
